Game breaking bug around 10 hours in

I'm playing on PC, I am around 10 hours in after choosing mages and fighting Alexius there is a cutscene (right after we go back in time) and I get stuck there. No dialogue wheel appears and I appear to enter combat mode and it's stuck like that. There are some other cutscenes before this one and the dialogue wheel appeared there normally. I tried loading 3 different saves and this always happens. I can't play ☹️

I have confirmed that all three of your solution steps are needed.
1. Change control scheme to keyboard/mouse
2. Load save from before the fight, save the game and exit
3. Repair the game
Once you start up, load the new save you created from before the fight and you should be good. I tried each one at a time and the only way to proceed and get the dialog options to appear was to complete all three items. Thank you so much for posting this!

I'm having this problem too, still. Tried the "repair" trick, tried reloading from earlier saves, made sure inventory had plenty of room going into the fight (since the fight drops stuff), made sure the Inquisitor didn't perform the killing blow, tried the fight in windowed mode and full screen mode, turned off quest tracking... Only thing I haven't tried is the gamepad trick, as I don't own a PC-compatible gamepad. Help!

ok folks, i have tried this in my 3rd playthrough, 2nd time siding with the mages. The solution for me both times was to choose one of the upper 2 responses in the previous dialog options with... [highlight to reveal text (spoiler alert)] Leliana where she was going to sacrifice herself with the others

I tried every single fix mentioned, and this is what finally worked: 1) Inventory less than maxed out (since winning the fight gives you items). 2) Graphics in Windowed mode. 3) Origin In Game was on, but I never turned on the overlay. Nor did I use the console. 4) The inquisitor didn't make the final attack, nor were they doing anything at the end of the fight. 5) I chose dialogue on the top of the wheel at every step. I had done all of the above options before, with no resolution. This was the only new addition and, I think, the key: 6) Once you make your last dialogue choice when talking to Lelianna after Alexius is defeated, mash the ESC key all the way through the cutscenes and conversations until you get to another dialogue wheel. This is quite literally the only way I got through. Good luck all!
